Future Distribution of Suitable Habitat for Pelagic Sharks in Australia Under Climate Change Models
Read more of: Future Distribution of Suitable Habitat for Pelagic Sharks in Australia Under Climate Change ModelsGlobal oceans are absorbing over 90% of the heat trapped in our atmosphere due to accumulated anthropogenic greenhouse gases, resulting in increasing ocean temperatures. Such changes may influence marine ectotherms, […]

Ecophysiology and ecological limits of symbiotrophic vesicomyid bivalves (Pliocardiinae) in the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Ecophysiology and ecological limits of symbiotrophic vesicomyid bivalves (Pliocardiinae) in the Southern OceanGeothermal energy provides an important resource in Antarctic marine ecosystems, exemplified by the recent discovery of large-sized chemosymbiotic vesicomyid bivalves (subfamily Pliocardiinae) in the Southern Ocean. These clams, which we […]

Antarctic octopod beaks as proxy for mercury concentrations in soft tissues
Read more of: Antarctic octopod beaks as proxy for mercury concentrations in soft tissuesAs the role of mercury is poorly known in Southern Ocean biota, the total mercury (T-Hg) concentrations were evaluated in upper/lower beaks, digestive gland, gills and mantle muscle of Adelieledone […]

Large-scale englacial folding and deep-ice stratigraphy within the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
Read more of: Large-scale englacial folding and deep-ice stratigraphy within the West Antarctic Ice SheetIt has been hypothesized that complex englacial structures identified within the East Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are generated by (i) water freezing to the ice sheet base and evolving […]

Non-additive response of the high-latitude Southern Hemisphere climate to aerosol forcing in a climate model with interactive chemistry
Read more of: Non-additive response of the high-latitude Southern Hemisphere climate to aerosol forcing in a climate model with interactive chemistryA suite of chemistry‐climate model simulations, forced by pairs of anthropogenic forcings [comprising greenhouse gases (GHGs), ozone depleting substances (ODSs), or aerosols], were employed to investigate whether the high‐latitude Southern […]

Genetic analysis of Boletus edulis suggests that intra-specific competition may reduce local genetic diversity as a woodland ages
Read more of: Genetic analysis of Boletus edulis suggests that intra-specific competition may reduce local genetic diversity as a woodland agesEctomycorrhizal fungi are key players in terrestrial ecosystems yet their mating systems and population dynamics remain poorly understood. We investigated the fine-scale relatedness structure and genetic diversity of Boletus edulis, […]
